A short film anthology with multiple directors
tackling an interconnected story about a group of teens on the Internet
in search of the most banned movie ever, Movie 43 features a
who’s who cast that dares to taunt their own
reputations as celebrated performers in order to push the boundaries for
a good cheap (and dirty) laugh.

After a brief postponement from the fall — to edit a violent sequence in a movie theater — Gangster Squad, the 1940s and ’50s crime thriller from Ruben Fleischer (Zombieland and 30 Minutes or Less)
seeks a hostile takeover of the weekend box office.

Emma Stone offers sincere, winning turn as a good girl pretending to be bad

'Fired Up' director Will Gluck hands his 'Scarlet Letter' high school update to Emma Stone and she delivers, making her hard sell pitch for promotion to the A-list look as easy as Sunday morning. Her good girl pretending to be bad has the one thing every smart 'Juno'-esque teen needs: parents in Stanley Tucci and Patricia Clarkson who are hip and understanding. Grade: B-plus.

Jesse Eisenberg and Woody Harrelson team up for entertaining genre pillager

Arriving on the coattails of 'Twilight,' 'True Blood' and myriad other recent living dead offerings (not to mention decades of George A. Romero's genre-defining entries), 'Zombieland' is as much buddy-centered road movie as it is gore-laden splatter fest. This juicy piece of pop culture pleasure centers on the unlikely duo of Jesse Eisenberg and Woody Harrelson as humans with differing philosophies about how to eradicate zombies from a desolate, now nearly human-free U.S. Grade: B.
